Quilts on Parade from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

My email inbox has been filled with beautiful pictures from quilters who've made my patterns. Let me tell you I LOVE getting these pictures!

First up is A Ribbon Runs Through It by Carol from the Chicago area. She said she got carried away making pillow shams, throw pillows and a wool applique pillow. I need to get this carried away and create a beautiful setting like this in one of my bedrooms! I met Carol when I taught at the Pieceful Gathering Retreat a few years ago, and I hope to meet again.

Next up is ...

A Ribbon Runs Through It 2.0 version from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I received an email from a quilter wondering what fabric line I would suggest for A Ribbon Runs Through It since the original fabric line is no longer available. I thought about it and went to the Marcus Fabrics website to check out what lines are going to be available soon.

I saw the Elegant Estate Collection by Judie Rothermel and fell in love with it. You can view the line with larger images by clicking HERE. I downloaded the images into my EQ8 software and played around recoloring my original design.

Then I started playing around with ...

A Ribbon Runs Through It Extra Fabric Pattern from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I think I should call this pattern A Cinch by the Inch. Except for the setting triangles, you only need 1" strips.

This was made using the leftover fabrics from the A Ribbon Runs Through It block of the month program. You can just keep making blocks until you run out of fabric. Since I wasn't sure how much fabric was leftover, due to cutting and usage, the fabrics requirements are a bit vague.

To get a copy of this FREE pattern click HERE. I put the pattern in Google Docs to make it easier for you ...

Eye Candy Day from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I love, love, LOVE to see variations of my quilt designs. This is my Heritage pattern made by my friend Kate. Her color combination of red, white and blue is spectacular. The machine quilting just puts this one over the top on the gorgeous scale.

The quilt started like this at a class I taught at Friends Around the Block in Colusa, CA. Every quilt has a beginning and a beautiful ending. Kate created an heirloom to enjoy for years and years to come. Well done YOU!

Then I received this image of my Country Charmer design made ...

Playing with Scraps from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I've been playing with the scraps that were left over from A Ribbon Runs Through It block of the month program. As soon as I get a bit farther along, I will post the directions so everyone can make this quilt whether or not you are in the program. The directions will be free to all.

I had a pile of cute little blocks when I decided to put a 9-patch in a few of them for added interest. You know me, I just can't help myself when it comes to adding little special touches to ...

Welcome to Sew'n Wild Oaks Blog from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Update - It's a good thing I have some sharp readers in blogland! I was notified by Sharon that you will need an additional 3-1/4 yards of the teal fabric to make this into a king-sized quilt. I appreciate the fact that she contacted me. --Lynn

Now That's Using Your Noodle from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Fat Quarter Shop has my quilt now, and they posted pictures from their wonderful photoshoot on their website.

You can check out all of the images HERE on their website. I was so pleased when I saw this. It is my understanding they are going to make a video about the quilt next, and I can't wait to see it. I think I will contact them to see if I can use this photo on my pattern cover.

On another note, I had a very interesting encounter with a bear yesterday. I drove my car down to ...

BOM Sneak Peeks from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

Just a couple of sneak peeks of my new block of the month for Marcus Fabrics. The program will roll out in January of 2022. I spent about 60 hours machine quilting her. Either I'm really slow, or the quilting is intense.

I LOVE this border fabric! The fabric is called Return to Elegance by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics. Lucky me, to have the opportunity to work with this fabric line.

The quilt measure 99" x 99" and will be a 10-month program. I named my quilt, A Ribbon Runs Through It. So you know there ...

Busy Days Past and Future from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

This post is totally rated family friendly.....all good times spent with family over the past week. This is our grandson Jess, a great kid, and baseball player. He didn't know we were coming to town to watch him play. It was so heartwarming to have him run out of the dugout to give us hugs.

We went to Livermore for the weekend and watched Jess' team play in the TOC finals. They won the whole sheebang! He played catcher, and 3rd base. The coach put him in as pitcher in the last inning of the first ...
